CAMO Services

What is a CAMO?

A Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) is responsible for managing an aircraft’s continuing airworthiness and ensuring that maintenance activities, inspections, records, and regulatory requirements are properly controlled and monitored.

What CAMO services do you provide?

Our CAMO services include:

- Continuing airworthiness, maintenance planning, reliability, and airworthiness reviews
- Maintenance programs, technical publications, records, technical services, defect managment, and maintenance watch
- Engineering, fleet technical management, and Aircraft Entry into Service (EIS) support

What aircraft categories and operational scenarios can SMS Solvings support?

SMS Solvings can provide CAMO, airworthiness, engineering, records, inspection, and technical support across a broad range of aircraft categories and operational scenarios, including:

- Commercial, regional, commuter, business, and corporate aircraft
- General Aviation fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft, including helicopters
- Aircraft entering service, changing operators, or undergoing lease return

Support is tailored to the aircraft type, registry, applicable approvals, and operator requirements.

Can SMS Solvings act as our outsourced CAMO?

Yes. We provide fully outsourced CAMO support, qualified personnel, or specialist airworthiness and engineering expertise to supplement existing teams.

Why is outsourced CAMO support cost-effective?

Depending on requirements and operating model, outsourced CAMO support can be approximately 40–50% less expensive than an equivalent in-house capability. This indicative saving reflects lower recruitment, employment, training, systems, and specialist-overhead costs, while providing access to professionals with reputable-airline engineering and CAMO experience.
